3. Scope The penetration test can be performed on a wide range of objects, which can be divided into three main categories. 3.1 Network Penetration Test Network penetration test aims at identifying vulnerabilities in networks, network devices and hosts which can be exploited by hackers. These vulnerabilities can come from the flaws in design, operation or implementation of the network systems. For example, if the router of the company is hacked, the hacker may be able to access all the data being sent to and from the company’s network and even altered the content of these data. Therefore, it can lead to incorrect business information. The consequences will be even worse if the information being transmitted or received is meant to be confidential.…
helping them augment their staff. My goal was simple: “Find someone who knows a decent amount of security… The rest can be spoon-fed/explained as time goes by.” This was weeks ago, and still no luck. With that in mind (not finding the right candidate), it will only be a matter of time that my client will settle for someone who has no idea about cyber “anything.” First person with any kind of experience will be tossed in an environment he is unfamiliar with. Dot dot dot… Has Edward Snowden not…
(green). The same applies for the “Homeland Security Advisory System.” [3] Now that I have explained this, let’s have a look at three of the most absurd security rated flaws I have encountered during my penetration testing these last few months. These three are repeat offenders, and I see them in over eighty percent of my…
Penetration tests assesses the overall security. It is the process of attempting to gain access to resources without knowledge of specific user names, their passwords, or other normal means of access (similar to what an attacker would do). The big different between a penetration tester and an attacker basically is permission. A penetration tester will already have some permissions (such as an normal user account) in place from the owner or managers of the computing resources that are to be…

Social penetration theory according to the creators “explains how relational closeness develops” (Griffin et al., 2015, p. 97) and how people begin personal relationships. The best and most effective way to describe social penetration theory and self-disclosure is by comparing it to an onion. The authors claim that people, like onions, have different layers. Each layer represents a different “structure of personality” (Griffin et al., 2015, p. 97). When you first meet someone, you would only be…
ground. There, on the board of their fifth hour class, lies the words in big bold letters, TEST WEDNESDAY. The following minutes are filled with stress, anxiety, and worry. But this does not compare to the time consuming, mind thwarting, brain exhausting hours of study5ing that is now to commence to do well on this test. That day after…
adult whether it was my GPA or my score on a test or the score they give a new born baby on how fast they cry or react to a stimulate. For once in my life I would want something else to define me rather than just a couple of numbers. As little kids barely entering school we are encourage to do our best. We are inspired and rewarded when we do something right but, as teenagers and adults we are required to know things already. When I was in elementary school we would have to do an exam that the…

Exams should be outlawed in favor of another form of assessment, such as demonstration, class activities, and projects because hands on assessments give a better explanation to students and improves motivation, helps learners improve their performances, and also…
